You Know You're Not Really Doing Work Today...

2007_12_21.chain.jpgBut there's only so much Scrabulous one person can handle, right? Our current time-wasting obsession, other than the betting pool on Jamie Lynn's baby's name, is Chain Factor. Challenging, stylish, and profoundly addictive, Chain Factor has gobbled up way too many of our hours over the last day.

You just want to hang on as long as possible in Chain Factor; it's a get-a-high-score game, not a beat-the-clock kinda thing. You drop numbered circles onto a grid, and when the number in the disc matches the number of discs in the row or column, those discs disappear. Then there's these grey ones, and... Let's just say it makes sense when you play.

You're welcome. And we're sorry.
